After 115km of rollers, I hit the Western face of Mount Glorious (epic)﻿

﻿25mins of epic gradient got me near the top

And a double flat on the descent on the Eastern side left me in this valley, 30km from home. With mobile phone coverage having eloped with my tyre pressure, I had to make a nice with cyclist-prejudiced motorists so I could hitch back home. EPIC.

The final resting place

So... if you've gotten this far, I salute you for your undivided attention, but alas duely appologise for any suicidal or self-harming thoughts you may have in the hours/days/weeks following your perusal of this colloquy.
